Course Homepage: http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~bkg/stat100/ Provides an overview of the field of statistics, including methods of summarizing and analyzing data, statistical reasoning for learning from observations (experimental or sample), and techniques for dealing with uncertainties in drawing conclusions from collected data. Emphasis is on presenting underlying concepts rather than covering a variety of different methodologies. Course evaluation is based on a combination of a Thursday evening midterm examination, a final examination, and GSI input. The course format includes lectures and a discussion section (1 hour per week). Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given. STATS 265 / IOE 265.

Your math, physics, and chemistry course preparation to date has concentrated on "deterministic" models: a given set of inputs or conditions repeatedly produce a fixed, completely predictable output. IOE 265 launches your modeling skills into a totally new dimension ... the much more realistic situation wherein a given set of inputs or conditions produce random (or "chance" or "probabilistic" or "stochastic" ) outcomes! Examples include the characteristics of products leaving manufacturing lines (e.g. lifetime of a bulb, concentration of a therapeutic drug), results of laboratory experiments (e.g., growth rates of microorganisms) or processes observed over space or time (e.g. spatial distribution of soil contaminants or time series of rainfall amounts). The field of statistics deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and use of data to make decisions, solve problems and design products and processes. The first part of the class will be devoted to the presentation of probabilistic concepts which are the building blocks of all statistical procedures that will be introduced in the second (more applied) part of the class. Homeworks and labs will allow students to apply these concepts and learn how to use basic statistical Excel functions to solve problems. The course prerequisites are Math 116 and Engin 101. IOE 265 is a prerequisite for many undergraduate IOE courses (e.g., 316, 366, 421, 425, 432, 441, 447, 449, 452, 460, 463, 465, 466, 474, 424/491). Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers by Douglas C. Montgomery and George C. Runger, Second Edition, 1998. Chapters 1 to 9 will be covered in this course. Grading scheme: Homeworks: 30% Homeworks will typically be assigned on a Wednesday and are due on Friday the next week, see schedule below. A dropping time and place will be specified later. Solutions to homework problems will be posted on this Website and CAEN Website the day after the due date, hence late homeworks will receive no credit. According to the Engineering Honor Code, all homework assignments are to be completed on your known, without using solutions prepared in prior years. Two lab sessions will be devoted to Technical communication and the related assignment will be graded and counted as homework #11. 2 midterm Exams: 40% Final Exam: 30% All exams will be closed-book and will consist of a set of multiple choice questions and problems covering both theory and applications. For each midterm, you may use, however, 1 crib sheet (two sides) including all information that you think may be helpful in the examination. The final exam will be comprehensive and 3 double-sided crib sheets will be permitted.

Statistics 350 has no prerequisite and has been elected by students whose mathematics background includes only high school algebra. Examples of applications are drawn from virtually all academic areas and some attention is given to statistical process control methods. The course format includes lectures (3 hours per week) and a laboratory (l.5 hours per week). The laboratory section deals with the computational aspects of the course and provides a forum for review of lecture material. For this purpose, students are introduced to the use of a statistical analysis-computer package.
